The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and endless skies, my love

And I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And would last 'til the end of time, my love
It would last 'til the end of time

The first time ever I saw your face, your face
Your face, your face, your face, your face
